Burien Legends, Haunts, and Activities for Halloween!

 If the explosion in the spider population or sudden appearance of Hocus Pocus t-shirts didn't alert you, we can officially celebrate all things spooky now that it's October!

Except spiders.

There is a lot going on to satisfy your spooky needs from kid fun to something for more mature audiences. For the family, you may want to check out the Haunted Hike hosted by Burien Boy Scout Troop 360 on October 13! The Macaroni website is a great way to find other festive family-friendly activities, too.

Before we get to our list of haunted places (not fake haunted houses, but actually haunted places in the area), do you know the local urban legend of the Drowned Girl of Miller Creek in Burien? The story has it that around 1915 a young girl was playing near Miller Creek when a log dam broke up stream and swept her away. Allegedly, she is a benign spirit who you can hear softly giggle on sunny days after big storms. Who's going to go check that out this month?

Finally, here's a link to a list of the most haunted places you can visit in the Burien area. The list includes places like Calamity Jane's western saloon, the old train station in Kent, and the Seattle Underground Tunnels. Who's ready for a spooky date night?!
